Alaksandr Milinkevich holding a picket under the flags of free Belarus and the EU

On July 27, the leader of the Movement For Freedom (MFF) participated personally in the picket on signatures collection for his nomination as a candidate for deputy of the House of Representatives.

The picket was dedicated to the 22nd anniversary of signing of the Declaration of State Sovereignty. The white-red-white and the EU flag were floating over the picketers who were standing near Uruchcha subway station for a long time.

Two police patrols reacted swiftly to the appearance of the historic national flag at the territory of the Uruchcha constituency. However, having inspected the documents, policemen had to damp their service ardour.

After meeting people and talking to them in the street, Alaksandr Milinkevich and his colleagues made visits to local residents’ homes. As is known, civil nominees need to collect one thousand signatures of constituency residents to be registered as a candidate for deputy.
